The article discusses a research study published in Administrative Science Quarterly, examining the impact of shifting the initial candidate selection process from managers to HR departments. This change aims to alleviate the burden on managers, allowing them to focus on core activities while potentially creating a fairer screening process that could enhance diversity in hiring. The findings indicate that HR-led candidate selection can lead to a broader and more diverse applicant pool, ultimately benefiting organizations in various aspects, including overall talent acquisition and workplace equality.
In organizations where managers are heavily involved in the hiring process, shifting the responsibility to HR could not only streamline procedures but also affect which candidates are considered for roles, potentially leading to a more diverse workforce.
Our study suggests that transferring the initial screening of applicants from managers to HR can mitigate biases in hiring, creating a more equitable selection process that can enhance workplace diversity.
